9,000 Poles used their "right to be forgotten"

More than 9,000 Poles have taken advantage of their "right to be forgotten," according to which search engines, such as Google, must remove links from their search results if the content displayed in those URLs is deemed "inadequate" and "irrelevant." "I think the number is quite low compared to other countries where digital awareness is higher, e.g the UK and France," said Lidia Kołucka-Żuk from the Digitization Council. Meanwhile, Google announced recently that as much as 59 percent of the search result takedown requests received to date globally have been turned down.
